Perfection in theory and in spirit…



What is perfection? How can you say that a person is perfect or not? Is there any criteria of perfection or it is just a chance that someone seems perfect to us when we see a person? The secret of perfection is in the secret of human existence….

Human beings are dynamic, their behaviors, their deeds and everything related to humans are dynamic in nature. This means they constantly change. This is also true in the case of perfectionism. What may be perfect for you might not mean perfect for another person. For someone a person who is understanding may be perfect, and for someone the one who gives maximum time is perfect. But one thing no one can deny that perfectionism is not static. Perfection is dynamic too. You might be perfect in your work, but may not be perfect in your personal relations. This is because the one who has the power to judge your perfection is not you. It is another human soul. And as mentality of a person changes from a person to person, so is the definition of perfection. You might be perfect in your eyes, but not in the eyes of the one who live with you or work with you. This is just because different people in your life expect differently from you. And as their expectations differ from each other so is the criteria of their perfectionism for you. If you fulfill one’s desire,
you are perfect, else you are not.


The same applies to me too. For me perfectionism is something which a person can attain only at personal levels and not in the eyes of the world. For me perfectionism is just the ability to fulfill everything which is expected from you. If you are able to fulfill every desire which is expected from you, you are perfect, and in short, no one is perfect in that sense, because you can never make everyone happy in your life and you can never meet the demands of everyone. So, if you feel you are not perfect that is just because you are unable to meet others expectations, not because you have some fault or inherent disability. If you really want to feel confident, create your very own definition of perfectionism and stick to it. You might be termed selfish when you would do so, but be very sure about yourself and you will surely sail through this world happily and with the contentment of being a perfectionist if you keep meeting up your own expectations from yourself.
